Your Daily Dose of “Awwwww”
That horse has got a face only a mother could love. Well, a mother and six-year-old Maddison Biddlecombe, who saved this poor little guy (deemed “lethally ugly”) from a date in pony heaven. Diego suffers from Wry Nose Syndrome, which hinders his ability to eat grass and win hearts. Well, most hearts.

Intern Diaries: Don’t We Get Some Bragging Rights?
It’s no secret that interning can be a dull job. In fact, sometimes internships get such a bad rep that we forgot that they can also have some pretty amazing perks. In the field of journalism and magazine writing, one of those perks is being given the opportunity to cover red carpet events. At my internship, it’s hands down everyone’s favorite thing to do and for obvious reasons.
Summer 2010 Fashion: What. The. Eff?
Each season the fashion mags publish their “Must Have Fashion” lists and each season I’m left drooling over Marc, Louis, and McQueen, wishing that my bank account was a little fuller. OK, a lot fuller. And it’s worse in the summer. Summer trends are among my favorite: the sunglasses, bikinis, embellished tank tops, and all the wonderful accessorizing opportunities! It’s a party in my head… until I hit that one item that makes me want to vomit.
Wardrobe Wish List: Steve Madden’s Bleigh Handbag
I love my big bags, but I love my sanity more and there is just no way I could deal with a 12 pound bag in the sweltering heat of summer. Which means a chic, easy-to wear and most importantly compact(!) bag is on the top of my wish list. And Steve Madden’s Bleigh handbag fits the bill perfectly.
College Q&A: Can I Date His Suite-Mate?
Question: Last year I wasn’t really looking for a boyfriend, so I was hooking up with this REALLY hot guy, John from the Co-Ed sports team I play on. It was only ever good times for both of us, and it happened maybe four times over, like, eight months, and we never even had sex. Since then, John’s gotten a girlfriend and we’re still really good friends who communicate really well. No problems there. The real problem? John lives in a suite with seven other guys, pretty much all of whom are equally hot.
5 Lies We Think Guys Want To Hear
I’m not a scientist, nor am I a statistics analyzer, but I’d be willing to bet the majority of lies embellishments you’ve told recently have been directed at the men in your life. That’s just the way it goes. You hit college and suddenly the dating field is a battleground. It’s every girl for herself and if you’ve got to fib your way into the arms of Mr. Wonderful, then so be it.

Body Blog: Beat the Bloat
Sodium is like that annoying, socially awkward kid who just can’t take a hint. No matter where you go, he’s there, usually sporting some short jorts, trying to get your attention. He knows he’s not welcome, at least he should, but he can’t take a hint. And then you’re bloated.

The Weekly Ten: The Fads We Miss (Or Maybe Not)
Oh the 1990s/2000s. It feels as if they were just a couple years ago. Well, I guess they were. Still, that doesn’t mean that we can’t reminisce about the things we loved and so desperately wish we were allowed to embrace today. I love my Yorkie, but she is definitely no “Puppy Surprise.”
Take Off Your Clothes with The S.W.A.P Team!
The S.W.A.P. Team is behind North America’s largest clothing swaps. So far the organization has exchanged over 12,000 items! I had the pleasure of volunteering with the Calgary (Alberta, Canada!) chapter this spring, experiencing the beautiful chaos that is a clothing swap. And it’s definitely something everyone needs to know about.
The Morning After: The Night I Rode a Private Plane…and Ended up in Jail
One evening I find myself in the library being an A+ scholar…sort of. Picture the scene: I’ve got a textbook open, my Starbucks in front of me, and I’m just jamming out to my iTunes when The Most Beautiful Guy in The World stands up and leans over the little desk divider. In an exact quote, he says, “I love that song.”
Intro to Cooking: Hard Boiled Eggs
Today, my fellow foodie lady friends, we examine the wonders of the ever-delicious, ever-nutritious egg. You already know they’re distinctive in shape, taste, and texture, and you already know they’re good for you, but why, exactly?
CC Beauty Live – Quick & Dirty: Queen Helene’s Mint Julep Mask
As a college student, I’m always on the lookout for bargains. And as a beauty addict, it can be difficult coughing up $30 for products. So that’s why I get really excited when I find amazing products for even more amazing prices.
One Month Challenge: Facing Fears, Week 3
Ever since I was little, I have had a hard time communicating with authority. So much so, that in 4th grade, when I did my worksheet and left it at home, I stole, YES stole, my desk partner’s worksheet (who I also happened to have a MAJOR 4th-grade style crush on) when he got up to go to the bathroom, erased his name and wrote mine in and handed it in before he got back.
The Feminist’s Dating Dilemma
Recently, a few of my friends and I got into a bit of a disagreement over who pays on a date. Although a few people agreed with me that if the relationship is long-term, the couple should split the costs for practical reasons (after all, especially if you’re on a college budget, it’s hard to bear the burden of all expenses), the overall consensus was that the guy should always pay at first. Some said the first date, some the first three dates, and others advocated up to the first year.
